This project consolidates most of the office functions for the Vancouver International Airport Authority (YVRAA), which were housed in several locations in and around the airport facility. The new office is located on the fifth level of the new Link Building, another completed Kasian project located between the International and Domestic Terminals. The intention of this project was to develop a unique design response that is consistent with the thematic master plan established for the overall terminal expansion. The design of the corporate offices reinforces the nature and culture of British Columbia and the Land, Sea, and Sky theme that defines the airport as a unique global gateway to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and North America.
The YVRAA offices have three distinct zones expressed in concentric bands between the curved six storey oval atrium and the exterior curved glass wall overlooking the tarmac. The public zone includes the reception, a series of meeting rooms and a prefunction area bordering the oval. The communal zone contains the central staff lounge, courtyard and light-well, and the work zone includes offices and open workstation areas.
